The aim of this review article on recent developments of mechanochemistry (nowadays
established as a part of chemistry) is to provide a comprehensive overview of advances …

The size of the mechanical contact between nanoscale bodies that are pressed together
under load has implications for adhesion, friction, and electrical and thermal transport at …

Innovations in relevant micro-contact areas are highlighted, these include, design, contact
resistance modeling, contact materials, performance and reliability. For each area the basic …

Many heterogeneous reactions catalyzed by nanoparticles occur at relatively high
temperatures, which may modulate the surface morphology of nanoparticles during reaction …

Direct contact, ohmic MEMS switches for RF applications have several advantages over
other conventional switching devices. Advantages include lower insertion loss, higher …

We study correlations between the solid-liquid interface (SLI) free energy and bulk material
properties (melting temperature, latent heat, and liquid structure) through the determination …

Understanding of the critical atomistic steps during the dehydrogenation process of liquid
organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) is important to the design of cost-efficient, high …

Severe adhesive wear on a rough aluminum (Al) substrate is simulated by a hard Lennard-
Jones asperity impacting an Al-asperity at high speeds using molecular dynamics (MD) …

Using classical molecular dynamics, atomic scale simulations of normal contact between a
nominally flat substrate and different atomistic and non-atomistic spherical particles were …

Contact resistance measurements are reported for radio frequency microelectromechanical
system switches operating in an ultrahigh vacuum system equipped with in situ oxygen …
